This will make an Emmons player want a Sho-Bud.

I feel sorry for the brother in the back. He gives the expression "I got your back" new meaning. He finally gets to sing at the end. Good singers.

Yeah they were good. The brother Jim with the tele
decided he was too good for country and went on to
a more operatic type music and faded out.

Or perhaps the other way 'round...

Those guys were top-line singers. Great steel sound as well. Who is the player?
I'll post a related item in Steel Players

ok...the sho-bud guy is fine...nice country licks...but the great thing there is tompall and jim doing the vocal trade off....just great entertainment you wish you could find now~!!

and then buddy....doing the thing...f*ckin around in the cool groove the way he showed us how ..no one does it like him. it's just the coolest thing he does ...simple as he makes it sound. there's other great stuff out there...maybe more intricate jazzy sophisticated whatever...but buddy...wow. and on t for texas which we've all probably dreaded at one jam or another!! those glaser boys can come to the party ..specially if they bring buddy!
i love that compressed flangy thing he gets tonewise!

side note: thread about sho-bud vs emmons..! what's the common factor here?

Cartwright Thompson · Post by **Cartwright Thompson** » 13 Mar 2010 5:23 pm

Wow, what a great clip, complete with the notorious "Rock Candy" phaser...It's true, no one else can play like that. Buddy may not be the best, but there's nobody any better. No, I take that back, he is the best... Reggie Young ain't no sdlouch either

Reggie Young

Is he evil-eyeing the bass player at 01:40 as if to ask, "Dude — where's my V?"

Bo Borland · Post by **Bo Borland** » 13 Mar 2010 9:37 pm

Exactly .. where is my V .

Buddy tore that up

Did you notice him doing a reverse slant so he could pick up a certain note on a bass string? Only Buddy!

I'm a Sho-Bud player, and I thought it, (the Sho-Bud,) sounded annoyingly thin. $:\$

Jeff Evans · Post by **Jeff Evans** » 14 Mar 2010 8:31 am

. . . sounded annoyingly thin . . .

It had THAT sound?

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 14 Mar 2010 9:09 am

Jeff,

Another swing:

. . . sounded annoyingly thin . . .

Like an Emmons?

Zach Keele · Post by **Zach Keele** » 14 Mar 2010 11:15 am

What readily available phaser could someone recommend to get a similar tone?

Also, is Buddy using a phase effect on this video?

Bo Borland · Post by **Bo Borland** » 14 Mar 2010 12:20 pm

From what I can see on the "T for Texas" video, it looks like E is using an old MXR phase 90, there is only one knob on it and it's plugged into the steel, first in the chain.

On the "In the Water" video it sound like just delay.

I remember seeing him carry a brief case full of stomp boxes all wired up, an Echoplex, an Eventide Harmonizer and a pair of Session 400's one with a 15 and one built for 2 12" but it only had one installed.

I love Sho~Bud and had few that sounded amazing but this one sounds like crap...Buddy`s Emmons doesn`t sound much better either, I hate those effects...but those are both live recordings so I`m sure that has to do with those guitars not sounding too good...

Db

debate Sho~Bud VS Emmons p/p is pointless, it can not be won IMHO ...

Barry Blackwood · Post by **Barry Blackwood** » 15 Mar 2010 6:46 am

Jeff, I was referring to the Sho-Bud sounding, "annoyingly thin," not the Emmons. There could be many reasons for this of course, not just the guitar.

Brint Hannay · Post by **Brint Hannay** » 15 Mar 2010 7:31 am

Jeff, I got it!

Is there a school in L.A. where they train TV camera directors to cut to closeups of the hands of the player who isn't soloing?

Bo Legg · Post by **Bo Legg** » 17 Mar 2010 1:03 pm

One of the Glaser brothers had a thin sound and the other brother had a fat sound.

The Sho-Bud sounded great "so get over it"

Paul Norman · Post by **Paul Norman** » 17 Mar 2010 1:13 pm

Thank you Bo.

Hey there Zach,

I don't think the big E is using a phaser in this clip, funny to hear him on a Sierra all super direct like that, not the tone we usually associate with him. How'd you like the octave pedal on the fiddler's solo?

Is that a very young Brent Mason sitting next to Buddy? Clip is mega grainy, but looks like him to me.

Thanks for posting these clips, amazing how much of Buddy there is out there.
